I hate it when that happens.
A few years ago, I'd hired a Passat estate to do some driving and lugging things around it. This must have been 2003-ish.
The guy at the desk offered me an upgrade for free if I wanted it and really built it up so I agreed and got on with sorting the paperwork. He kept on telling me how he'd driven the car I was getting and how fantastic it was. So, I get outside to go and look it over and what comes careering around the corner?
A fucking Street Ka.
He was genuinely confused and quite upset that I didn't want it. I was (and still am) utterly bereft of ideas as to why he thought I would.
